Thunderbirds pachislo sounds

[chello22]

Hello when you play a pachislo machine you hear the sounds of the reels stopping when you stop them as on all pachislo machines including thunderbirds , I have a thunderbirds machine and wanted to know if theres a way where I can only hear them sounds whilst playing and not hear the main sounds that you would hear on the screen , would anyone know how to do this ? Im only asking this question as im customizimg my machine , if anyone knows how to do this on this machine or any other machine please let me know , thanks

Would you be referring to the connections that sit above each reel or on the large board on the back wall? If it is the wires on top of the reel cage then please see my picture below.

These two sets of wires go to three different areas for the reels. Wire set #1 goes to the light board behind each reel. Wire set #2 goes to the reel motor and a reel positioning sensor on top of the motor.

My educated guess is that the game theme sounds are all on one or more programed chips on one of the main boards. So I think you may be stuck with all or none of the sounds unless you change out a board for another known setup that works with a specific machine’s components.

Im reffurring to the connections above the reels on the back of the front door , theres a connection on the left hand side with 2 wires if you unplug it that gets rid of all the sounds the reel.sounds and the screen sounds I thought that one wire might be for the reels and the Other for the screen ? If the correct wire was cut would that mean I could get what I want as I only want sounds of the reels stopping not the thunderbirds theme , obviously im not going to cut any wires as I haven't had any proper advise yet

Sorry think the connection is below the reels

Can you post a picture? Unless we have different models I am only seeing 2 wire connections that go to the light boards.

Sorry think the connection is below the reels

Thinking that your are looking at the 2 wires that run down to the left side speaker?
I can put up a photo if you are not able to.

Yes please , the only thing im trying to do is disable the sounds when your playing the games on the screen and just have the sounds of the reels stopping instead

[Peteybob]

These two sets of wires go to the left and right side speakers. Wire set #1 goes to the left speaker and wire set #2 goes to the right speaker. (The left and right are when you are looking at the wires on the back of the door.) These wires only feed the speakers. They won't separate out any certain sounds, it's all or none for these wires.

So is there a way to just have the sounds of the reels stopping and that's it ? Somewhere else on the machine maybe ?

[Peteybob]

The various sounds would be on one or more computer chips. The only other way I can think of is to isolate the chip(s) or reprogram if that is even possible?

This is well beyond my pay grade of taking it apart to see how it works.
